Compare 2/6 and 5/8 using benchmark number. Which number can you use to compare these fraction

Mathematics
1 answer:
ch4aika [34]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

5/8 is about 1/2. 2/6 is about 0.

Step-by-step explanation:  2/6 is about 0 because 2 is close to 0. If the numerator is  close to 0 and the denominator is not close to 0 then the benchmark is going to be 0. If the numerator is about half of the denominator then the benchmark is going to be 1/2. If the numerator and denominator is close to each other than the benchmark is going to be 1.

Use the given information to find the number of degrees of​ freedom, the critical values χ2L and χ2R​, and the confidence interv
Sidana [21]

Answer:

χ²R = 8.643

χ²L = 42.796

0.20 < σ < 0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, n = 23

The degree of freedom, df = n - 1 = 23 - 1 = 22

At α - level = 99%

For χ²R ; 1 - (1 - 0.99)/2= 0.995 ; df = 22 ; χ²R = 8.643

For χ²L ; (1 - 0.99)/2 = 0.005 ; df = 22 ; χ²L = 42.796

The confidence interval of σ ;

s * √[(n-1)/χ²L] < σ < s * √[(n-1)/χ²R)]

0.28 * √(22/42.796) < σ < 0.28 * √(22/8.643)

0.2008 < σ < 0.4467

0.20 < σ < 0.45

Josh is going to the store to buy cakes to share with the fifth grade. He wants to share the cakes with 86 students. He buys 35
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Everyone will get \frac{35}{86} amount of cakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of Cakes Josh buys = 35

Number of Students Josh wants to share = 86

Josh need to share cakes with fifth grade students.

We need to find the fraction of cakes everyone will get.

So to find the the fraction of cakes everyone will get can be calculated by dividing Number of Cakes Josh buys with Number of students he want to share with.

Amount of cakes Every one will get = \frac{\textrm{Number of Cakes}}{\textrm{Number of Students}}

Now Substituting the values we get;

Amount of cakes Every one will get = \frac{35}{86}

Hence Everyone will get \frac{35}{86} amount of cakes.

If y varies inversely with x and y =5 when x=20 find x when y = -4​
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

x=-25

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation

xy =k

We know x and y

20*5 =k

100 =k

So the formula is

x y = 100

We know y = -4

x (-4) = 100

Divide each side by -4

-4x/-4 = 100/-4

x = -25
